urgent ..need info on large size TV
******************************************

We are very confused. So many technologies.

Would like a 50 to 56 inch TV or thereabouts.

We have a large room.

max budget around $1300.

There is DLP, Plasma and LCD etc ..

Which one is better and why ?

Walmart, Frys, Best Buy , Circuit City all offering different
products,
technologies etc.

We Don't care about brand and
not very particular on fanatastic picture quality.

Just want a good reliable TV that gives us best value for the money.

That can last 6 years or so.

Also any info on TV stands ? what to avoid ?


Pls advise.


Thanks
Linda

Linda,

Circuit City is having a sale on the Hitachi 55" LCD Projection HDTV
(55VS69)
for $999. That is an LCD based rear projection TV. For 6 years of
use, you will probably have to change the bulb once, but that still
puts you around your target cost for 6 years.

The other possibility is to buy a cathode ray tube (CRT) based read
projection TV. Sears may still have some left. I do not think they
are made anymore, but the image quality is high and the price is dirt
cheap. Sears had a sale on a 51" Hitachi monitor set (no HDTV tuner
that you hook up to cable or a sat dish ) for just $599. That is an
incredible price for a 51" TV. That sale is over, but you might call
Sears and see if they have any 51", 56" or 65" rear projection CRT
based TVs left for sale. They are a bargain and they should last 10
years, with no bulb to replace. The only drawback is that they have
larger cabinets to hold the CRTs. Another advantage, however, is that
they do not need a stand, which costs money, and they come with
rollers so they are easy to move around despite their size. They also
tend to have much better built in speakers than the smaller, thinner
DLP, LCD, LCOS sets.

PS

Circuit City has the same 51" Hitachi CRT based rear projection TV/
monitor for sale for $714. with free delivery. Hitachi 51" CRT
Projection HD Monitor (51F59)

As stated, it does not have a tuner, so you need to hook it up to a
cable box or a sat dish to make it work.

You never said why your note is urgent. A sale ending today? The money
disappearing if you don't spend it today? Someone dying and if you
don't have the TV right NOW it won't matter?

Crying "Wolf!" just tends to get your note, and notes from others that
really are urgent, ignored.

Try JVC HD ILA set

Try JVC HD ILA set

I'll second this recommendation. JVC is selling the new sets
(projection TVs only 11 inches deep) so there are some great deals out
there for the older series. Look for something in the 56XX97 series
and you can come pretty close to that $1300 figure.

JVCs are a good brand, and you can find them very cheap on the Web.

see: http://www.buy.com/prod/jvc-hd56g657...203531693.html

You can use Price Grabber - http://www.pricegrabber.com/ - or other
search engines. The brands to avoid are RCA, Akai, and Phillips.
Hitachi, Toshiba, and JVC are good. Sony and Mitsubishi are good
also, but usually higher priced.

CRT RP's also need convergence, some more than others.
They also burn in images.

I think all CRT based RPTVs these days have one touch auto-
convergence. You just push a button every couple of moths and that is
all. Burn is is not a big deal unless you wish to use them for
computer use. I think she just wants a big TV.
